EMM Functions

 TECH Help! describes all services supported by the Expanded Memory Manager
 version 4.0 and previous versions.  4.0 has been standard since 1987 so
 there should be few compatibility problems if you use the 4.0 functions.

 To access an EMM function, load AX with a function number, set other
 registers as described for the function, and invoke INT 67H.  Be sure to
 check the return status in AH.  A non-zero return value indicates an
 error.
